Last weekend, Sarcasm the elf and I went out for a tour of the Bushwhack Range - a chain of four trail-less peaks in the Catskills.
Between oversleeping on Sunday because of a storm Saturday night, and getting delayed by a big field of blowdown, we had to decide that Friday, the last peak on our agenda, would be there another day, but we made the other three: Lone, Rocky and Balsam Cap.
Trip report over at my blog. If you're curious what a Catskill bushwhack is like, this report should give a bit of the flavor of it.

I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here.
